The oceanic crust is made primarily of basalt. Oceanic crust is known to be thinner, but denser than continental crust, and it is mostly made of dark-colored rocks, such as gabbro and basalt. Continental crust, on the other hand, is made up of light-colored rocks such as granite and andesite. Basalt usually came from lava that cooled from magma as a result of volcanic eruption. During the current time, basalt forms most of the major rifts around the world including Ice land and the Read Sea.
Final answer:
A) Basalt
